Like most Native American tribes, the Creek's clothing was simpler and they didn't wear shirts before Europeans influenced their clothing.
Historically, Creek men wore deerskin or bark fabric breechcloths, with deerskin leggings and mocasinns. After Europeans influenced their clothing, Creek men wore shirts, jackets, and other items.
Creek women wore a knee-length skirt. After Europeans influenced their clothing, women wore full skirts and dresses, added ribbon work, and roaches and other items.
Modern Creek men will wear their ribbon shirts and moccasins, but jeans instead of breechcloths and leggings. Creek women will wear dresses that resemble traditional outfits.
